Yeah, we have actually graded more juniors than half the nrl- true story.

It's "grass is greener syndrome" that makes guys think we haven't. When the team is not doing so well it's easy to think a new young guy will automatically be better.

Panthers have blooded a lot of new young guys and while they are above us on the table, we still beat them a few rounds back. Funny old game.

Not really. In my case I don't think any of the young guys could do much worse than guys like Ayshford and Wright, so may as well give them a go and see what they've got.

I'd agree in Ayshfords case, and I've been calling for Degois to go for Lichaa all season, but some guys on this forum call for wholesale changes based on age every other week. It gets a bit mad. Is Peachey ripping it up at Penrith? Is Chad going better at the warriors than Robbo is here?

he went to europe then came back and was playing for helensburgh

has more fun working in the mines and playing with his mates than playing nrl footy

 

[HaroldBishop]

I don't even remember him. How many games did he play?

 

[snowman]

one

 

[HaroldBishop]

Thanks. That explains it.

 

[snowman]

last game of 2010, lost to penrith 52-10, trent made 38 tackles for 0 misses

 

[HaroldBishop]

Very impressive. I imagine they would be very rare stats.

 

[vicsharkfan]

Jesus this not blooding juniors crap is getting annoying, the problem is the inability to unearth talent the problem isn't not getting a go, complain about juniors no probs but please give the not getting a go line a rest...

He's a personal trainer now and is tipped to the shredder

Don't forget about David Simmons, debuted when he was 19.

Always will be the one that got away.
